Chapter 9:

Kagome held her head while Sam brought her a glass of water and some asprin. "Take this Hun. It'll help." She said with a smile. She was wearing her pajamas and a black fluffy rode with matching, fluffy, black, bunny slippers and held a diet coke in her hand. Her hair was a mess, as if she had just woken up.

"What happened last night?" Kagome groaned before taking the pills. Inuyasha was still asleep on the hard wood of the deck floor. Kagome felt stiff all over from sleeping on the wood, so she carefully stood up so she wouldn't wake Inuyasha, and stretched a bit, feeling the pain in her spine.

"You all got drunk, well, I don't think Inuyasha got drunk. Boy can hold his liquor. Heh. But yeah, you got drunk during the strip poker game. Remind me to never give you more then two margaritas again. K?" Sam replied with a laugh, and Kagome laughed, but soon stopped because it made her head pound. "Anyway, you guys didn't really do anything you'll regret, and I'm sure no one except Aaron, Inuyasha, and me are going to remember anything. And you won the game last night." Sam added before walking to the galley to start making breakfast for everyone.

"Huh?" Kagome asked, then looked down just as Inuyasha sat up.

"What the hell...?" Inuaysha asked, feeling stiff all over, just like Kagome. He stood up, feeling pain all over. "Why did we sleep out here?"

"I guess we fell asleep out here." Kagome replied with a smile. Her head was still killing her. "Well, I'm gonna go get washed up and changed. I'll see ya in a few." Kagome said before walking over to the steps that went below deck, then grabbing some clothed and going into the ever so small bathroom with a poor excuse for a shower, but it was something.


Kagome was finished getting ready, so she went up on deck to see everyone sitting at a table that had been set up, eating breakfast and talking, laughing, having fun. She saw that Koga and Sam seemed to be getting along well, and Sango and Miroku were starting to get a little closer too. Good. Kagome thought with a smile and a nod before she headed over and took an empty seat between Inuyasha and Koga. Keiko and Aaron sat across from her, Keiko giggling about something Aaron had said, and Hojo and Mina next to them.

Everyone was paired up in couples, like it was made out to be that way in the end. But what about her and Inuyasha? Do they act like everyone else did around each other, even in public. Kagome thought hard about all the time she spent with Inuyasha, and couldn't remember actually acting like a couple with him around anyone. But she shook the thoughts from her head and started to talk to everyone else at the table.

"So what's tonight Sam?" Sango asked, and everyone looked at Sam, wanting to know what was scheduled for tonight.

"I was thinking to just have a claming moonlit swim tonight. I've have enough partying for this week, so something calm so we can wind down a bit for a bit." Sam replied. "You guys like that idea."

"Yes!" Inuyasha exclaimed, since he was the one that had to show his stuff every night this week.

"Aight. I'll make sure all your bathing suites are clean for this afternoon." Sam said as she stood up and started taking everyone's plates.

"We're gonna make a stop at another set of islands I know. This one has a nice beach and some animals you won't see in many other places, along with a beautiful reef. So I can't pull all the way up to the island. You'll have to take the dinky boat over to the island if you don't want to swim." Aaron told everyone. "But don't touch the reef! The coral will automatically die if you touch it. Got it?"

Everyone nodded, and Aaron smiled. "Good. Now I'll start the engine and we'll be there in about an hour. You're free to roam deck until we get there." Then he stood and headed over to the galley to get a snack, the going over to the wheel to start the boat up again.

Kagome looked at Inuyasha, then stood up and left the table, Songo and Keikofollowing her, wanting to know what they did last night, if Kagome even knew.

Hojo and Mina looked at each other and smiled, then both got up, leaving Miroku, Koga, and Inuyasha alone. Not the best combination of people to leave alone together.

"So... How are you guys holding up so far with this vacation?" Miroku asked.

"I feel like the girls are playing with us." Inuyasha replied.

"I know what you mean." Koga replied. "I don't understand it. It's like when they're all together, they can read each other's minds and figure out something to do to make us lose at the games they play. Ya know?"

"Well you didn't have to strip every night so far." Inuyasha hissed.

"It's only been two nights Inuyasha." Miroku said.

"But still...!" Inuyasha said. "I just don't know." He sighed as he shook his head.

"Hopefully tonight will be calm like Sam planned." Koga said.

"Hopefully." Inuyasha said.

AN- Well, I know that was a pretty boring chapter, but it's prepping for a good chapter. Think of it. A moonlit swim! Do ya think I'm not gonna do anything with that? LOL Plz R&R. Thanx! TTFN!
